Redundant Power Supplies

D-Link’s Redundant Power Supplies (RPS) provide your switches with a backup power source to keep your network up and running with zero downtime. Our RPS models provide up to 589 Watts and are rack-mountable, making them ideal for power-hungry applications like Power over Ethernet.

The DPS-200A redundant power supply (RPS) are designed to conform to the wattage requirements of D-Link’s Ethernet and Gigabit switches. It is an external RPS unit enclosed in solid metal cases with sockets to connect to an AC power sources on one end and to connect to a switch’s internal power supply on the other end. They provide a low-cost, simple solution to the problem of an inadvertent failure of the internal power-supply of an Ethernet switch, which can result in the shutdown of that switch, the devices attached to its ports or an entire network.

The DPS-200 is the backup Redundant Power Supply for the DES-3010PA. When the DES-3010PA is equipped with the DPS-200, both power supplies are switched on and share the current load. In case the power supply of the DES-3010PA should fail, the DPS-200 will instantaneously take 100% of the load without any loss.
